Baka-Gaijin

The Reverend Michael Wishart, vicar of St Mary’s in Bishops Lydeard, has provoked the ire of Somerset Racial Equality Council after writing in the parish newsletter that:

The mornings have a decidedly autumnal feel to them, there’s a little nip in the air.

Which is what they said when they hanged the Japanese criminal! [1]

It comes to something when we have institutions that preside on the assumption that some races are so wretched that they need to be protected from the feeble jokes of country vicars. Yappari baka-gaijin.
